Kwoklyn Wan’s crispy cheesy crab wontons recipe

“Looking for an irresistible combination of crispy shells and creamy, cheesy crab filling? Then look no further for a symphony of flavour in every bite,” says Kwoklyn Wan.

Crispy cheesy crab wontons

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 4 minutes

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

24 wonton skins

Vegetable oil

Dipping sauce of your choice

300g crab sticks, finely chopped

75g onion, finely diced

75g carrot, peeled and finely diced

75g spring onions, finely diced

Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Place all the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well.

2. Separate the wonton skins, then take one skin and place roughly half a tablespoon of filling in the middle. Pinch in the four sides so they meet in the middle, creating a star-like shape.

3. Repeat with the remaining wonton skins and filling. In a wok or deep saucepan, heat seven and a half to 10 centimetres of oil to around 180C, then add the wontons in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked all the way through. This will take around four minutes per batch.
